All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

You can choose a non-alcoholic Mai Tai, which is great for those who are sensitive to alcohol. The dinner buffet is served in order, so it's reassuring. The meat is a bit tough, but it was very delicious. You can go back for dessert later, so be careful not to overeat. There was also ice cream, fruit, and cake. The show includes not only Hawaiian music but also popular songs, so I think anyone can enjoy it. I recommend it if you want to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

マイタイは、アルコール無しも選ぶことが出来て、お酒に弱い人にも大丈夫でした。
ディナーのビュッフェは順番に案内してくれるので安心。
お肉は、ちょっと硬めですが、味はとってもおいしかったです。
デザートがあとでまた取りに行けるので食事の取りすぎ注意です。
アイスクリームもフルーツ、ケーキがありました。
ショーはハワイアンだけでなくメジャーな歌も盛り込まれていて誰でも楽しめると思う。
ハワイ気分を堪能したいならおすすめです。

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要：
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ！と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網？の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想：
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

I paid for the VIP package for a group of 6 people and everything went pretty smoothly from checking in to being seated at our table. Everything was pretty efficient from getting our meals to seeing the show. My only issue of concern was that I paid for the additional drink and we were not able to use them. We were told that there would be an opportunity to use them during the show but no one told us we had to get them before the show started because there would not be an intermission or an opportunity afterwards. The waiters need to clearly state that if you don't get your drink during your meal, you need to be sure to get it before heading into the show because you won't get the opportunity otherwise. The show was amazing from the MC, Elvis, to Michael Jackson! The dancers and band did a great job as well!

We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!

There is a bit of a wait from when you are seated until you can go get your food. However, I didn't feel that the meal time was insufficient, so I don't think it's a big issue. The food was not only plentiful but also delicious, with flavors that are easy for Japanese people to enjoy. The roast beef, in particular, was excellent. The hula performances and lessons during the meal were also fun. And the show exceeded my expectations! The dancers were sharp, and before I knew it, we were at the finale. I'm glad I participated.

席についてから料理を取りに行けるまで、待ち時間がそれなりにあります。
でも、食事の時間が足りないとは感じなかったので、それほど問題ではないと思います。
食事は量はもちろん、味も日本人が食べやすい味で美味しかったです。特にローストビーフが美味しかったです。
食事中のフラ演技やフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
そしてショーは想像以上でした！！踊りは皆さんキレキレであっという間にフィナーレでした。
参加して良かったと思いました。

This time I was with my 3.5-year-old, and thanks to the flippers, they were able to swim smoothly! The kids said this trip was the most fun they've ever had, and it seems they really enjoyed jumping off the boat. The hamburger was hearty with a strong meat flavor, large, satisfying, and delicious—I was very pleased! The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the kids loved the warm cocoa after coming out of the sea. The staff were all wonderful, and the beach volleyball and conversations were fantastic. Thank you so much!!!!

今回小学3.5年と一緒でしたが、足ビレがあるおかげでスイスイ泳げていました！子供達は今回の旅で一番楽しかったと言っていて、船からの飛び込みも楽しかったようです。ハンバーガーはミート感がしっかりあって、大きく食べ応えがあり美味しくて大満足です！！ドリンクも飲み放題で、子供たちは海から上がった後のあったかいココアがお気に入りでした。スタッフさん達も皆さん素敵な方ばかりでビーチバレーにトークもサイコーでした。本当にありがとうございました！！！！

I participated in many tours in Hawaii, but the one I enjoyed the most was this tour. The crystal-clear surface of the ocean was breathtaking.

It was also a good decision to go during low tide as much as possible.

ハワイでたくさんツアーの参加しましたが、
一番参加してよかったのがこのツアー。
透き通る見事な海面は絶景でした。

なるべく干潮のときを狙って行ったのも正解でした。

Highly recommend this tour! Awesome staff and best experience during our vacation in Oahu!

I think there are several catamarans, but the 1.5-hour ride was just right. The reception was easy to find as it was located on the 1st floor of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. The staff maintained a good distance, which I appreciated. The boat also had a restroom. I was worried about seasickness, but it was a clear day with calm waves, so I didn't get splashed and enjoyed a pleasant breeze during the fun cruising. Although I didn't see any sea turtles or dolphins, I was very satisfied with the views of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea. I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once.

カタマランはいくつかあるかと思うのですが、乗船時間が1時間半なのが丁度良かったです。受付もアウトリガーリーフホテル1Fにお店が入っていて分かりやすかったです。スタッフの方も良い距離感で、有り難かったです。船にはお手洗いもありました。船酔いが心配でしたが、快晴で波も静かな日だったので、海水が掛かることもなく、気持ち良い風を感じて楽しいクルージングでした。ホヌやイルカは見れませんでしたが、海からのホノルルやダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて大満足です。是非一度体験して欲しいです。

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

Everything was okay, the server forgot to bring the welcome drink to us for more than 30 mins until we reminded him.

Really well organised activity with Kaimana Tours. Our driver Koa was excellent, providing lots of insights to the surroundings during our drive there. Pickup was on time, in a comfortable spacious van. We arrived and were first in line to get tickets which was simple and organised. The snorkeling gear was great, both sizing and quality for what we needed. I’d recommend going on the 6am pickup, as by the time we left at 11, it was getting really busy and there were not many places with shade. Kaimana offer umbrellas & chairs for hire too.

The weather was perfect! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was still very enjoyable. My husband and I wore sneakers, which was a mistake. It's better to wear flip-flops or something similar. Also, if you go to the front of the boat, be prepared to get wet from the splashes; wearing something that can get wet makes it much more fun. My daughter and I were in regular clothes, but we enjoyed the thrill and the stunning views while getting completely soaked!

お天気にも恵まれて最高でした！残念ながらイルカには会えませんでしたがとても良かったです。夫とわたしはスニーカーを履いて行きましたがそれは失敗。ビーサンなどで行くのが良いです。また船の先端は水しぶきが凄く濡れてもいい格好で行くととても楽しめます。娘と私は普通の洋服でしたがずぶ濡れになりながらスリルと絶景を楽しんでいました！

The staff was fun, and we quickly made our way to the sandbar. The sea was beautiful, and it became a memorable experience! Thank you very much.

スタッフさんも楽しくってあっという間にサンドバーへ
海は綺麗だし思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました。

This was my third visit. Some attractions were closed, which was disappointing, but I was able to ride Tornado and Shaka three times each. The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time. I especially appreciated the thoughtful care from the Japanese woman at the reception, who embodied the spirit of hospitality. I definitely want to go again next year!

今回3回目でした。アトラクションはいくつか閉鎖中で、残念でしたが、トルネードとシャカを3回ずつ出来ました。スタッフはみんな陽気でフレンドリーて、とても楽しい時間でした。特に受付係の日本人女性の方が、おもてなし精神で細やかな配慮をして頂きありがたかったですヨ^_^
来年も是非行きたいと思います♪

This is a cruise where you can enjoy a leisurely sunset. It sails from Aloha Tower to the area around Diamond Head and returns while you enjoy the sunset. From the sea, you can see the hotels of Waikiki and the sunset illuminating Diamond Head. The climax is the beautiful sunset. All the passengers went out onto the deck to enjoy the sunset. There is also live music on board, creating a fantastic atmosphere. You can also purchase light snacks, making it easy to enjoy the experience.

We participated as a couple in our thirties. By chance, the receptionist was Japanese, and after handing over our voucher, we were guided to our seats. Since it was a VIP buffet, we received a drink service voucher and had priority in the buffet line. The seating was at a long table, and for pairs, we were seated next to each other, while the opposite side was a different group. Since we couldn't speak English well, it felt a bit awkward. However, the food was very delicious, and we were satisfied. During dinner, there was also a hula dance performance, and although we didn't participate in the dance lesson that took place, we enjoyed it to some extent.

The Rock-a-Hula show featured professional dancers performing hula, which was of impressive quality and enjoyable until the end. I recognized many parts of the Michael Jackson impersonation, but I was not familiar with Elvis, which made me feel a bit out of sync with those around me.

アラサー夫婦二人で参加しました。たまたまなのか日本人の受付の方で、バウチャーを渡すと案内してもらえました。VIPビュッフェとのことでワンドリンクのサービス券と、ビュッフェに並ぶ順番が優先されました。席は長テーブルで、ペアの場合隣通しで案内されるので、正面は別グループの方でした。英語ができない私達は少し気まずかったです。ただ、食事は非常に美味しく満足でした。ディナー中もフラダンスもあり、途中行われたダンスレッスンには参加こそしませんでしたがまずまず楽しめました。
ロック・ア・フラショーはプロのダンサーたちのフラダンスはさすがのクオリティで見応え十分で最後まで楽しめました。マイケルジャクソンのモノマネは知っている部分も多かったですが、エルヴィスはほとんど知らず周りとはやや温度差を感じました。

Definitely the sun set cruise is one of the best , and most beautiful experience we had. Great food , great live music and great and delicious food .

First, we had a meal. The food was delicious. They guided us in order, so we could eat without feeling rushed. The show featuring Elvis was amazing. He came to the audience and was very engaging. The fire dance was also wonderful. I thought the hula dancer was fantastic, as she perfectly executed various other dances as well. However, the most impressive was Michael. He was a bit overweight, but his face resembled the original.

The location was hard to find. We were about 30 minutes late. I recommend checking the map thoroughly before heading out.

まず、最初に食事でした。食事はおいしかったです。順番に案内してくれるので、焦る事なく食べる事ができました。ショーはエルビスが最高でした。客席まで来てくれて、サービス精神旺盛でした。炎のダンスも素敵でした。フラダンスを踊るダンサーは、他の色々なダンスも完璧にこなして素晴らしい、と思いました。でも、1番印象的だったのは、マイケルでした。太り過ぎだろ、、、顔は似ていました。
場所が分かりにくいです。30分位遅刻しました。しっかり地図を確認して出かけるこおをお勧めします。

Staying at the Hilton made transportation convenient.
I had to wait about 30 minutes from the meeting time until being shown to my seat. There is room for improvement.
The prices differ between the stage area and other areas. The order for the buffet is also different.
Once you take your meal, it will be cleared away afterward, so it's necessary to take what you want at the beginning without hesitation. The show time has also become shorter than before.

ヒルトン宿泊だった為、移動は便利であった。
集合時間から、席への案内まで30分程待たされた。改善の余地あり。
ステージの周囲とそれ以外で価格が違う。ブッフェの順番も違う。
食事は1回取ると後は片付けられるので、遠慮なくはじめに取っておく必要がある。ショーの時間も以前より短くなった。

I used this place for dinner. The B course had just the right amount of food to fill us up, and my wife was able to finish it all. There are Japanese-speaking staff at the reception, so you can enter with peace of mind. The staff in the hall were also friendly and cheerful, and they spoke to us in broken Japanese. Of course, the food was incredibly delicious. This is a place I would like to visit again next time.

ディナーで利用させて頂きました。
Bコースは、ちょうどお腹いっぱいになるくらいの量で妻も完食出来るくらいです。
日本人？の受付スタッフもいらっしゃるので、安心して、エントリーできます。
ホールの方も明るく気さくな方が多くて、片言の日本語で話しかけてくれます。
もちろん料理も最高に美味しかったです。
また、次回も利用したいお店です。

It was amazing to see sea turtles and colorful fish up close. The staff were very kind and provided explanations in Japanese, which made me feel very at ease! Participating was a great memory.

ウミガメやカラフルな魚たちを近くで見れたのが最高でした
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切で日本語での説明もしてくださったのでとても安心でした！
参加してとても良い記念になりました。

Freindly and nice crews
Good explanation
Great Atmosphere
Good Water Activity
Great experience of watching wild dolphin

but just want to improve for food bit more…

The shuttle service to and from the hotel made it easy to get around, and I was able to receive explanations about tourist spots and snorkeling in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind! The hamburgers we had on the boat were truly delicious... After getting into the water, it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit (like a rash guard), hot water, a bath towel, and a change of clothes for after disembarking! It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed in Hawaii!

ホテルからの行き帰り送迎ありで楽に移動でき、日本語で観光スポット、シュノーケリングの説明を受けることができ、安心して体験を楽しめました！
船上で食べるハンバーガーも本当に沁みるおいしさでした…
海に入った後は寒くなるので、上から羽織れるもの（ラッシュガード等）、白湯、バスタオル、下船後の着替えなどを用意しておくとよいと思います！
ハワイならではの体験かつ、心ゆくまで堪能できました～

I had a very good experience. At the end, you put a tip in the box, but I think it would also convey more gratitude if you give money to the captain and the guide separately.

However, I was so exhausted that I couldn't do anything at all after coming back that day.

とてもいい経験ができました
箱に最後にチップを入れるのですが、それとは別に、キャプテンやガイドさんにもお金を渡すとより感謝が伝わると思います

ただ疲れ果てすぎてその日帰ってきてからは全くなにもできませんでした

We almost didn't make it but they held for us....by the skin of our teeth and the evening was just a blast after that. The food was good, the entertainment was funny and got the audience engaged. The views were spectacular. Had a lot of fun

I participated in a tour with two friends. Due to the rainy season in October, the sandbar was deeper than I expected (about chest height), but we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the white sandy area while playing with floaties. It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I wasn't very good at swimming, which made me anxious. However, wearing a life jacket made me feel safe, and there was a clear pre-lecture, practice time in shallow water, and several guides watching over us, so the support system was sufficient. It was scary to go deeper than I imagined (maybe due to the rainy season?), but while desperately keeping up, I was able to see coral and sea turtles, making it a valuable experience. We encountered sea turtles several times on the way to and from the tour, allowing us to feel the nature of Hawaii. The light snack of spam onigiri was also delicious. I thought the price was a bit high, but I believe it was worth it for the unique experience that only a tour can provide. I highly recommend it as it offers a valuable opportunity to connect with Hawaii's nature.

友人2人とツアーに参加しました。10月雨季だった影響もあり、サンドバーは思っていたより水深は深めでした（胸下あたり）が、浮き輪で遊びながら白い砂地の美しい景色を十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングは初体験で、あまり泳ぎも得意ではなく不安だったのですが、ライフジャケット装着で安心ですし、解りやすく事前にレクチャーあり、浅瀬での練習時間あり、ガイドさんが数名で見守ってくれるのでフォロー体制も十分でした。想像以上に深いところまでいくので怖かったですが（雨季の影響もあるかも？）、必死について行きながら、サンゴやウミガメも見れて貴重な体験ができ満足でした。行きも帰りも何度も船の上からウミガメに会う事ができ、ハワイの自然を感じる事ができました。軽食のスパムおにぎりも美味しかったです。少し値段はお高めかな？と思いましたが、ツアーだからこそ体験できる価値もあり参加してよかったと思っています。ハワイの自然に触れる貴重な体験ができるので、絶対おすすめです。

This was my third time participating. I usually can't see the sandbar. If it's waist-deep, that's better. During the accompanying snorkeling, I was able to see fish, corals, and turtles. The stand-up paddleboarding felt free with two people sharing one board, and I enjoyed it. This time, the weather was nice and not cold, but last time the bus was cold and it was quite uncomfortable. A dry towel and something to wear over are essentials.

3度目の参加でした。いつも基本的にはサンドバーは拝めません。腰丈ならましな方です。付随するシュノーケリングで魚とサンゴ、カメも見れました。SUPは二人ひとつで自由な感じ、楽しめました。今回は天気が良く寒く無かったですが、前回はバスが寒くて辟易としました。乾いたタオルと羽織るものが必需品です。

I was able to see the sea turtles! After playing with the floaties and stand-up paddleboarding, we went snorkeling! I saw the sea turtles multiple times!

ホヌが見れました！
浮き輪やsupで遊んだあと、シュノーケリングでした！
ホヌを何回も見れました！

Great greeters, buffet. Dinner entertainment and show! Beverages were bad. The Mai Tai didn't taste like a MT. Sdas watered down or missing half required syrup at $5 each. Excellent value. My teen son loved it. We all did. Thank you.
